One night a
man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along
the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed
scenes from his life.
For each scene, he noticed two sets of footprints
in the sand; one belonging to him, and the other
to the Lord.
When the last scene of his life flashed before
him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of his
life, there was only one set of footprints.
He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in his life. This really bothered
him and he questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow
you, you'd walk with me all the way. But I have
noticed that during the most troublesome times
in my life there is only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed you most,
you would leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never leave you. During
your times of trial and suffering, when you see
only one set of footprints in the sand, it was
then that I carried you."
